Week 60 was our first week alone with Dan...it was executed with military precision and I am tired as a result!! Joseph's second molar (bottom right) has been coming through and I think now (Monday 14th) that it has cut the gum. It has been much less problematic that the first one (thanks goodness!).

Here's another piece of clothing from Aunty Kate that Joseph has been able to start wearing as the weather has turned a little bit cooler. It's a very cute furry jacket - he looks like a little bear, perfect for Bear Park! Please note the scab on his nose is from a fall at Bear Park - straight onto the astroturf - ouch!

I have been putting Joseph in the big bath on a Saturday for a bit of a treat (he usually goes in the shower)...he had a great time and has even discovered how to get the tap to work!

Uncle Gerry was visiting from Melbourne and Joseph took three full days to really acknowledge his presence! Uncle Gerry did teach Joseph how to get onto his bike and he is now beetling around the courtyard having a great time (he can even turn the handle bars to go round in circles and can reverse). Perhaps he will grow up to be a racing car driver - something that would please his father no end!!

Finally, Joseph loves rattling the gate at the top of the stairs and spends quite a bit of time standing on it, throwing things through the rails and down onto the stairs and rattling it (sometimes to the point where I wonder how long the gate will last!).
